Artist Love
"What are you doing, Nomi?" Stevens asked as he placed down his dumbbells on the side. He walked towards Nomi and his book.
"I'm just drawing, Stevens." Nomi replied and continue his drawing. The pencil stopped to reveal a drawing Nomi had made. It was a picture of his mother, surrounded by flowers blooming besides her and a sweet smile fits perfectly. He felt happy with the result. Stevens looks at it and smiled.
"Wow, that's really good, Nomi! She looks pretty cool! Why don't you try doing commissions?" He suggested. Nomi shook his head.
"No, I don't think so. I'm not that good so I won't do commissions. I'm going to look at my art account." Nomi took out his phone and open the social app. Social Lite, a famous app for news and social things. Perfect for videos, blogs and arts.
"Huh, you got 28k followers! That's awesome, man! People really love your art. At least the algorithm is perfect. I heard there's one social app had algorithm problem and made artists had trouble posting arts. Even the hashtags couldn't work well. It kept glitching." Stevens explained. Nomi nod and look at his followers, comments and likes. He was sure there's other people out there who is better than him.
There's one account he personally follows and check everyday. It's just a blogger named Randy Cunningham but his account is filled with many arts and blogs about his daily routine. Some even about him with kids. Nomi will admit secretly, he admired Randy and his kindness towards others. He was looking happy playing with children and helping the poor. Nomi wanted to see him, yet Randy is just too famous. Oh, he posted a new one. Cooking? He can cook? The food looks good, Nomi drooled a bit.
He checked Randy's account to see how many followers he had now and was surprised. There's already 99k followers. He's gotten a lot famous. Nomi sighed as he grab his backpack and went out to find more inspiration for his art account. He walked around and found a park. He sat down on the soft grass and started sketching the scenery in front of him.
While he was doing it, Nomi heard a thud near him. He looked around and saw a boy with a mask and hat, on the ground and looked like he was injured. Nomi rushed towards him and panicked.
"Are you okay?" Nomi asked as he picked him up gently. The boy nod.
"I'm fine, just a small scrap." He replied, but it's not small, it's a big scratch mark and bleeding.
"No it's not, here I'll help you out." Nomi said. He took out his napkin and making sure the scratch mark is washed and cleaned up before tying it. The boy was happy.
"Thank you, what's your name?" He asked.
"My name? It's Nomi Conikus Norisu. Pleasure." He smiled. The boy shook.
"Wait, THE Nomi Norisu? That artist in Social Lite? I'm a follower of yours. Your art is amazing!" He said happily. Nomi chuckled.
"That's nice to know. I'm really glad you like my art." He said, embarrassed. The boy took out a phone and showed it to Nomi.
"See this? The drawing of your mom? I always admired family drawings. It looked like an anime but it also felt real. I really like this one since it kinda reminds me of my own mother." He said. Nomi sadden his face.
"Yeah, I like it too. It's a shame my family won't be able to see these." He said looking at the drawing. The boy felt bad and decided to talk to him a little bit more.
"Well, don't worry about it. I understand since I feel you. I have no parents and my siblings are busy with their jobs. I'm sure your family is observing you and being very proud on what you've become." The boy said cheering Nomi up. The redhead smiled.
"Thanks a lot. Hey, maybe I can draw something for you as a thank you. Anything you want me to draw?" Nomi asked taking out his art supplies. The boy was a bit surprised. It's rare for artist to say that to be honest.
"Are you sure? My request might be too much." He said worriedly. Nomi smiled.
"It's fine. If it's a picture of you or anything in particular, I'll do it." Nomi said as a assuring. The boy nod.
"Well, can you draw Randy Cunningham smiling and saying thank you?" He asked. Nomi nod and started drawing using his phone with Randy's picture as reference. Always use reference when you draw, dear artists. It's always better with reference than none.
"You're a fan of Randy Cunningham?" Nomi asked. The boy sweats a bit.
"Kinda, what about you?" Nomi smiled.
"I'm a big fan of his. I followed his account just to see how he managed to take care of kids, helping the poor and plenty of more. He's also a good singer and dancer. If I'm not wrong he posted one of his food he cooked for the kids and I almost drooled. It looked delicious." He explained and finished up the drawing. The boy blushed a bit. That's really nice.
"Do you like him cause he's cute?" He asked. Nomi shook his head.
"Not really, that is just a bonus. I like him cause he's kind, caring and very talented by making everyone else happy. I wish I can be like him so I won't be sad always." Nomi replied, his face is real red now. The boy got a bit flustered by it. Soon, Nomi gave the drawing to the boy.
"Here you go, kid. I hope you liked this." He said. The boy took it and was amazed by it. A drawing of Randy Cunningham, smiling and saying the word Thank You.
"This is amazing! And you put your signature! I'm so keeping this! Thank you!" He said and hugged Nomi tightly. Nomi chuckled.
"I'm glad you like it." He said as he clean his stuff.
"Like it? I love it! Thanks again, Nomi." The boy smiled and looked at his phone, then got surprised.
"I'll be late! I'm sorry Nomi but I have to go! I'll see you soon." He said and gave one last hug. Nomi chuckled.
"Okay then, see ya soon." He said as he look at the boy running away. Then Nomi wondered...
"Wait, what's his name???" He asked himself. He is a bit of an idiot. He walked home and sat down with his roommate, Stevens and Theresa.
"Hey, Nomi. You looked happy." Theresa said, drinking her ice lemon tea. Yummy tea. Nomi smiled.
"I just met a fan, that's all." He said. Stevens snickered.
"I see. Do you know the name?" He asked. Nomi face down on the table.
"No, I forgot to ask him. But I did draw something for him." Nomi said awkwardly. Stevens sighed.
"You messed up, man." He said. Nomi nod and got a notification on his phone. He open is up and looks like someone tagged him. He open it and was shock.
"Randy Cunningham has my drawing?!" He yelled. The three of them looked at the account. The drawing belongs to that kid, why did Randy has it? The caption.
"Hey, my fellow ninjas! I just got myself meeting the greatest artist ever! Started from a scratched knee and now I got a drawing from him! Whoever who doesn't know this amazing artist, I don't know which stone you've been hiding. @NomiNorisuArt, thanks a lot and I hoped we can meet again. If you don't get it, I can give one clue. The napkin. See ya soon, ninjas!"
There's plenty of hashtags on that post. Nomi was shock. Stevens started to ask.
"Hey, Nomi. You just met Randy Cunningham. THE Randy Cunningham! And you even draw for him! Aren't you excited?" He asked. Nomi was still surprised.
"Stevens, he said he followed my art account. How come I never noticed?! He followed my account! I don't know what to say anymore!" He managed to talk to his modal! How Bruce is that?!
"That's really awesome, Nomi. You managed to meet him." Theresa smiled. Then Nomi remembered something and blushed.
"I... I complimented him, telling him that he's kind, caring, talented, great cook and even admitted that his cuteness is a bonus." He said and flop on the table with a thud. The two other people snorted.
"You did what?!" They started to laugh. Nomi blushed harder.
"Guys!" He yelled. Soon, there was a knock on the door. Nomi walked up towards the door and opened it, seeing two people in mask.
"Hello there, you must be Nomi Norisu." The girl said. Nomi nod cautiously.
"Yes, and you are?" He asked.
"I'm Tengu and this is my adoptive sister. We're here because our brother wants to meet you." The boy said. Nomi nod and let them in.
"Where is your brother?" Nomi asked as Theresa and Stevens sat down on the couch. Yooka, one last housemate came down from his room.
"Here he is." Tengu showed the boy, and it's Randy Cunningham!
"Pleasure to meet you again, Nomi." He blushed lightly. Nomi blushed as well.
"O-oh, pleasure is all mine." He said, still remembering the words he said to Randy a few hours ago.
"Um, about your compliments last time, thank you. I appreciate it." Randy said, trying to open up a conversation. Nomi scratched his head awkwardly.
"Thanks a lot. Um, I'm really happy that you followed me. I admired your account a lot I was surprised that I didn't noticed the following. I was busy." He said. Randy giggled.
"No problem. I just really like your art." He smiled. Nomi blushed at that smile. Why does he has to be so cute!
"Randy, if you want to, go ahead." Yuuki said. Do what? Nomi thought. Randy took a deep breath and huffed as he looked at Nomi with a blushing face.
"Um... I..." He stuttered. Tengu sighed and just pushed Randy towards Nomi, making them both fell down on each other. Randy was blushing heavily while Nomi was embarrassed. Is this a dream? If so, he doesn't want to wake up.
"Just kiss him already. You kept saying how much you want to meet him and kiss him if possible." Yuuki snickered. Randy blushed hard as he stood up.
"I didn't thought he'll be this handsome, okay!" He said defensively. Nomi blushed and smiled.
"You, like me?" He asked. Randy sighed and nod.
"It's more of a "I love you" type. Yeah." He said, blushing harder than he can. The rest is just enjoying this epic scenery as if it was an episode.
Nomi smiled and pulled Randy closer to him, hugging him. Randy was a bit shock but just hug back. He feel all giddy for some reason. Nomi lifted the smaller boy's face, them closing their eyes and kissed passionately. Yuuki took a picture and snickered.
"Hey, Randy? Wanna post this official couple picture?" Yuuki asked, holding he phone. Randy blushed embarrassed. Nomi chuckled.
"We can keep it a secret if you want, Randy." He said. Randy shook his head.
"No, they need to know. Um, are we...?" He asked for confirmation. Nomi kissed his forehead sweetly.
"Yes, yes we are." Randy smiled and told his sister to post the picture for him. She post it, edit it a bit and gave the phone back to Randy. He took it and type a few things before publish it. Nomi smiled and got a tag from him, claiming that they are now officially a couple. Nomi kissed Randy's cheek happily.
"I feel like things will go pretty smoothly." He said. They both received plenty of comments about people starting to ship them together, even making fanarts for them. They were pretty happy.
A few years later, on one of their latest post of them having dinner together, they both received an awkward comment.
(Insert Social Lite account name): Are you guys gonna get married?
Nomi smirked as Randy tried to find words to explain to the comment. Nomi pulled out a box with a ring in it. Randy was surprised.
"I was about to ask you, but I guess the comment help out. So, will you marry me, my dear Randy?" He smiled, and Randy kissed him deeply.
"Yes, I'll marry you." He said. He placed the ring and they both made a post with a short caption.
A new life as a family.
